Seeing someone place a bet on a coin in the signal group, and as a result, they lost 40 points in just one day, eventually choosing to cut their losses and exit completely. Honestly, this move was a bit confusing to watch — closing the position so quickly after such a short holding time, and losing so much, feels a bit rushed?

I can't understand why they would play like this. Did the market suddenly reverse, or was the stop-loss set too tight? Or was it just a quick test that went wrong?

Does anyone know the situation? What's the logic behind such quick stop-loss trading? Is it a proper risk management approach, or is it just a matter of not having the right mindset? Please enlighten me.

Cutting at 40 points directly, this guy's mentality must have collapsed Following the trend to shout orders is the easiest way to crash, stop-loss is useless It seems more like greed got out of control with the position

Did you cut at 40 points in a day? This guy probably rushed in without thinking it through. This kind of quick stop-loss, to put it simply, is a mental breakdown. There's nothing wrong with stop-loss itself, but setting it so tight is really a suicidal trade.

Cutting 40 points is really incredible. How panicked must one be to press out so quickly? Following the trend and calling signals is already a gamble with a nine out of ten chance of failure, and expecting to see the results within a day—aren't you just asking for trouble? Tight stop-losses are fine, but closing everything in a day? Bro, that's not risk management at all; that's pure mental breakdown.

Haha, 40 points lost in a day, probably jumped in without doing proper research this time. Setting stop-loss too tight is really a rookie mistake. With such big market fluctuations, playing like that is basically suicide. Most issues are related to mentality; rushing to test the waters instead ends up creating a trap.

Losing 40 points in a day, this guy must be really nervous. He probably ran without setting a proper stop-loss. --- This move of cutting losses and clearing out... honestly, I don't understand the logic behind it. With such a big loss, it's better to hold on and see. --- Quick in and out trading style indeed tends to explode. The key is still the mindset issue. --- The problem isn't with the stop-loss setting; it's that you jumped in without understanding what you're doing. --- I've seen this kind of situation many times. Usually, it's because there's no trading plan, just blindly guessing based on feelings. --- Signal calling itself is dangerous. Following and closing positions so quickly—it's no wonder you get wrecked. --- How to put it, people who lose forty points often panic before waiting for a rebound. --- Real risk management isn't like this; this is called blind stop-loss. --- Losing this much in a day, either your entry price was wrong, or you didn't do your homework at all.

ngl, 40 points in a day then panic dump? that's not risk management, that's just... leverage ptsd in real time lol. been there, got the scars to prove it. sometimes the tightest stop losses are just emotional band-aids, not actual strategy fr

This guy's mentality completely collapsed. 40 points lost in a day—this is the classic script of chasing highs and getting cut. Calling signals and following the trend always end up like this.

Basically, it's a gambler's mentality; following calls blindly is itself a trap. You can't withstand 40 points in a day, either because of over-leveraging or because the mindset has truly collapsed. This kind of quick in-and-out trading, rather than being risk management, is more like gambling. True risk management would have long avoided following calls to trade.

Clearing all positions with 40 points in a day is really harsh; this guy's mentality is truly broken. Stop-loss should be set, but rushing to cut losses like this feels off; maybe he jumped in without thinking it through. Signal groups are already a trap, and following the crowd makes it even more painful. This is a real-life cautionary tale.
